Delaware
mineralogical society

Welcome to DMS!

We are a non-profit organization dedicated to the promotion and
education of mineralogy, paleontology and the lapidary arts. We have
monthly meetings at the Delaware Museum of Natural History, just
north of Wilmington, Delaware. We have speakers and programs
that promote the goals of the society at each meeting.

We conduct several field trips a year to fossil and mineral
localities in the tri-state area and further afield. Many of our DMS
members belong to other clubs in the tri-state area, creating close
ties and providing opportunities for some co-sponsored field trips a
year. Please visit our Field Trip page for information on upcoming
field trips, as well as pictures and field reports from past trips.

DMS is proud to announce our affiliation with the American
Federation of Mineralogical Societies (AFMS) and the Eastern
Federation of Mineralogical and Lapidary Societies (EFMLS).

We also participate in the 'Future Rockhounds of America' Program
through the AFMS.
